Prohibit Genetically Engineered Babies : A Debate, Intelligence Squared, (evideo)

Contributor
Summary
Imagine a world free of genetic diseases, where parents control their offspring's height, eye color, and intelligence. This world may be closer than you think, as scientists make great advances in genetic engineering. Such practices, however, could have unintended consequences, such as creating new diseases or ailments. And yet even if the science could be perfected, is it morally right? Would it lead to eugenics and a stratified society where only the rich have access to genetic enhancement? Should genetically engineered babies be prohibited? Rethink your point of view with this Intelligence Squared U.S . Oxford-style debate
